Ringwood Secondary College’s many music ensembles must meet online to play together during lockdowns, but playing when schools are open brings its own challenges. lockdown
It’s not lockdowns but the periods in between that have proved trickiest for Janine Pero, the director of music at Ringwood Secondary College.
She went online to see what schools in the US and Britain were doing to keep their music programs going. In Ringwood’s case, this meant splitting its ensembles into separate rooms, putting some students indoors and others outdoors, with some even streaming remotely.It’s also meant keeping irregular hours.
The students managed to come together once this year for a winter concert when the state was free of community transmission. Now in lockdown again, they are clinging to the hope of going on a scheduled band tour before the year is done.
